*Snap Action against first deportation to Afghanistan*

*Snap Action against first deportation to Afghanistan*

FRIDAY 18 NOVEMBER
12.30pm
Department of Immigration, Lee St, Central
(just at end of Devonshire st tunnel, opposite Railway Square)


The Australian government is moving to deport a 27 year-old Hazara Afghan asylum seeker, Ismail Mirza Jan, from Villawood to Kabul, Afghanistan.

Ismail received a notice of removal last Friday and he has since been held in the Stage one (Blaxland), high security section of Villawood detention centre. The deportation is scheduled for Saturday 19 November.

This deportation would be the first forced deportation since the Australian and Afghan governments signed a controversial Memorandum of Understanding in January this year.

Join us on Friday afternoon outside the Department of Immigration to demand the Minister stop Ismail?s deportation and review all Hazara refugee claims.

Contact Ian Rintoul (0417 275 7613) for more information.
